Обсуждение: Standalone ODBC Driver
Hi all I remember, a while ago somebody mentioning an odbc driver for postgres that is not dependant on a working postgres client installation. Unfortunately I lost the link to it, can anybody remember? ( I tested it then and it worked fine for simple task, but then switched back to the standard driver, as the datatype information stuff was much more complete. Now I need to run a postgresql odbc program on a few ancient machines whith completely outdated client libraries and no chance of upgrading. So, the standalone driver would come very handy here again. ) Bye Tim

Already up and running! Sadly, the current svn versions seem to target only windows. No chance to even compile it under linux, but the old version from 2007 works.

The linux version lags behind. We are working on a unixodbc issue with newer versions then you will be able to. Joshua D.
